Rock N Roll Hall of Fame
- Thread starter Sir Galahad
- Start date
Until they induct Flogging Molly and The Dropkick Murphys any talk of the RRHOF is useless.
You can't put a former airline, a city, a color shade and a sneaky act in the hall of fame. They're just making stuff up now.
You're thinking of the praise and worship band Transgenders With All the parts. I'm talking about Northwest Airlines.
Oh wow....I forgot about NorthWorst Airlnes. Glad they went under. I'm still mad about one particular flight in 2004.
.
You should have just asked why is NWA entering the Rock and Roll HOF.
I think a Hall of Fame for musicians is a bit weird in general.
Sir G should love NWA, after all the money they made being exploited by a Jew.
I'm perfectly fine with groundbreaking rap artists being included (hopefully there will never, ever be a P-Diddy of Kanye West induction), but in all seriousness ....... it's long been time for The Monkees to take their rightful place in the RRHOF.

Something tells me that "Are We There Yet" Ice Cube is trying to distance himself from "Fvck the Police" Ice Cube.
Kanye West is an "OK" rapper at best, and his rhymes and beats are certainly not "groundbreaking" in the least.
Serious question, is there not a rap/r&b/hiphop hall of fame? Why is a rap group getting into a rock and roll hall of fame?
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has a long list of non "Rock and Roll" inductees. But if the racists want to have another platform to be racist while hiding their racism then have at it. NFL season doesnt start for another few months to transition that back to Cam Newton.
It's because rap music live, generally, is awful. It's either 1-2 guys on stage alone, or a huge mob of people with 90% of them saying "Yuh!" in between every word in the rap.
Really enjoyed College Dropout, Late Registration & Graduation & still do today. Rappers who have more than 3 albums I still really enjoy is rare air for me. Then he went too much full of himself.
Disagree. The beats and production on his albums have made him one of the best hip-hop producers of all time.
I could see that, Chicago, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple and Steve Miller all performed and put in a great show. They all played together in the end and asked for the NWA guys to join them and none would go up, My guess was they didn't feel right going on stage with actual musicians.
Well, I guess when you were raised on crap, it's hard to think outside the box. Plus, high production value doesn't necessarily translate into a good product (remember WaterWorld? $100 million wasted on a bad script). It's like that tantrum he threw at the MTV VMA Awards when these unknown European guys beat him in the best video category, and he starts whining about how his video cost over a million and had Pamela Anderson. High production value yes, but the European band actually had a creative, thought-provoking video.
There is absolutely nothing racist about a rock and roll fan , especially if they are a fan of old rock and roll wondering why NWA or any other rap group is in the rock and roll hall of fame.
I didn't say anything about high production value I was speaking to the quality of the production. Now you've jumped to talk about videos when I was talking about his music.
There are 108 black people in the RRHOF, a third of the inductees. Stop acting like it's a white club. Feel free to continue calling anyone that disagrees with something involving a black person racist though.

Don't say anything bad about a black murderer, Ice will call you a racist!!!
It's called an analogy. Say it with me, "uh ... nall ... o ... jee." The high production value of his music doesn't necessarily translate into great music in much the same way that the high production of his videos doesn't equally translate into "art" as well. Just because you throw a boatload of money at something doesn't mean there's quality behind it (i.e. Fetty Wap, Big Sean, and the like). Maybe if you removed your tongue from being wedged so deep in Kanye's
chute you'd be able to see things a bit more clearly.

OK, let's end this stupid argument about hard rock vs. rap and hip-hop artists. The "Rock and Roll" Hall of Fame is a nod to the origins of the genre by virtue of definition .....
rock and roll (noun)
noun: rock and roll; noun: rock 'n' roll; modifier noun: rock-and-roll; noun: rockand roll; noun: rock'n' roll
By definition, "rock and roll" encompasses all forms of modern music from the 1950's up until today.

- a type of popular dance music originating in the 1950s, characterized by a heavy beat and simple melodies. Rock and roll was an amalgam of black rhythm and blues and white country music, usually based on a twelve-bar structure and an instrumentation of guitar, bass, and drums.

Yes because the first thing anyone associates NWA with is rock and roll. Seriously, they should just create a separate hall of fame, problem solved.
More like for the various genres of music you fox new racist.
Yeah, except it is exactly what you said. You called everyone a racist for asking why a rap group was added to a rock HOF. You then implied anyone that criticizes Newton is a racist as well. Is a person that dislikes Manziel's showboating also a racist? I know I know, I'm a racist too because I am defending people you think are racist. No surprise to me, I've known I was a racist since 2008 when I didn't vote for Obama.
